MySmilies VB
 

Tested with vb 3.6.8

This hack puts the control of the smilies on the users. It lets any user (that you give permission to) upload or modify the smilies that he can use.

These are not the smilies that vb uses, these are user-customized smilies. The smilies that you already have in place are preserved and are still used. But users may upload their own smilies for their use, and they are kept separate from the forum smilies.

For users:

• Users can keep a library of smilies (they can upload them from their computer or web)
• Users enter their replacement text, for example, :iamhappy: would be changed for his user-happy smilie
• The custom smilies are parsed in any post, signature, or pm
• If they have enabled the WYSIWYG editor, smilies are shown there

For administrators:

• Usergroup control of who may upload custom smilies
• Usergroup control of the size (width, height, size in bytes) of the smilie
• Smilie quota, both for max number of smilies and max number of bytes or hard disk space
• The administrator can choose where to save the smilies (the directory, default: mysmiliesvb)

thank you. installed on 3.6.4

Great! :) Installed!

sounds cool - I will check it out later.

Muchas gracias hombre, muy bien hack =D

Saludos :p

Very cool! Installed and we'll see how it goes.

It's mad, you think you have everything your vB needs and you log on and see a sweet ass hack such as this! Thanking you. :)

This is a great concept but it gives me a couple questions.

Can you add permissions for a per-user basis?

When the user inputs a new keyword will all posts with that keyword use their smilie? or does the new smilie only show in the users posts? Is the new smilie parsed so it will not interfere with current keywords? (if not might I suggest AJAX to make this check on-the-fly?

Are there restrictions on type of images? Can you add an option to limit file types?

Are there instructions for adding the MySmilies dropdown for the Quick Reply box too?

edit...I would like to recommend adding a blank index.html to the zip for the mysmiliesvb directory for security :)
